Open Fruit Barre: Three choreographers/ four dance pieces

The Swan
danced and choreographed by Ian Archer Watters
In homage to the great Maya Plisetskaya who danced "The Dying Swan," Lamaya Plisetswanskaya dances "The Swan" who does not die but dances on
forever. Music? Saint-Saens. Choreography? She starts with Fokine. Color? You'll adore her pink cheeks, full fire engine red lips, sparkling eyes that pick up the light. Costume? Black tutu, swan-like feathers, crown of diamonds with a decorative black feather headpiece. Extravagance? Her eyelashes are nearly as long as her nose and studded with diamonds. Agility? She balances en pointe! You'll cheer.
